1 Kickball Don t Lose It, CHANGE It! Presented By: SPARK Trainer, Patty Lanier The SPARK Programs SPARK-PE

2 MINGLE, MINGLE Ready... 4 cones (for boundaries) Music and player (optional) Set... Create a medium (20X20 paces) activity area. ASAP 1. The object of Mingle, Mingle is to move throughout the activity area without touching others. 2. As you enter the activity area, move continuously according to my prompts. 3. Look for open space and stay away from others. 4. (Start with low to moderate locomotor skills, such as walking and jogging; then build to more vigorous movements such as galloping, skipping, sliding, etc.) 5. When you approach someone, give a false move with your head, and step to fake them out. 6. (Change the locomotor every 20 seconds or so.) CHALLENGES On stop signal, can you slowly move your arms like a helicopter without touching anyone? CUES Keep moving and look for open space. GRADES 3-6 Stay away from others. Cover as much ground as you can. 7

3 Triangle Passing and 3-Player Kick and Score GRADES K-2 Ready 4 cones (for boundaries) 1 7" foamball per 3 students 1 whistle Stopwatch (optional) Set Create large (30X30 paces) activity area. Form groups of 3; then distribute 1 ball to each group. Scatter groups within area. Direct them to stand in triangles with 5-10 paces separating each group member. 1. Triangle Passing Today we are going to practice kicking and trapping skills in small groups. Don t pass to anyone in your group twice until everyone has been passed to once. Trap and stop the ball before you pass. Challenges oohow quickly can your group pass the ball around the triangle using the instep pass? oo When you hear, Switch! change the direction of your passes. o o(after trials.) Using any pass and trap you like, how quickly can your group pass the ball around your triangle 3X? March in place when you re finished. oohow many times can you pass the ball around your group in 1 minute? Count out loud Player Kick and Score rd (Have 2 students in each group move to face each other 10 paces apart, and the 3 move between them standing with legs straddled.) The object of 3-Player Kick and Score is to practice passing accurately. The 2 on the outside softly pass the ball so it rolls through the middle person s legs. Accuracy and control are the key. Middle people, turn and face whoever has the ball, and stand with your legs wide and hands up. Block the ball to protect yourself if needed, but don t stop it from rolling between your legs. Kicking and trapping (continued) 31

4 Triangle Passing and 3-Player Kick and Score (continued) Before kicking, ask the middle person if they are ready. If they say, Yes, it is safe to try a shot on goal. When you hear Switch! change your middle person. Everyone will have a turn in the middle. Challenges oohow many goals can you and your partner score in 1 minute? oocan you score without touching the legs of your goal? oo If the middle person brings their feet closer together, can you still score? 3. Wrap It Up Did you earn the middle person s trust? If so, how? Keep Away (2 on 1) The object of Keep Away is for the 2 outside people to pass the ball without the person in the middle stealing it. Use all the passes, traps, and dribbling techniques we ve learned. When you hear Switch! show how quickly you can change places and start again. (Call switch every 30 seconds or so.) 3-Player Kickball (Create groups of 3, and scatter them within the area. The kicker, pitcher, and fielder are in a straight-line formation spaced equal distance apart.) Pitchers, roll the ball to your Kicker. Kickers, kick the ball, and follow it out in the field. Stay out there and become the next Fielder. Fielders, retrieve the ball, and run it in to the Pitcher s position. The original Pitcher is the new Kicker. Rotate quickly so everyone has a lot of turns to kick. 32

5 5-PLAYER KICKBALL Ready... 4 cones per group of 5 for boundaries 2 bases (or spot markers) per group of 5 1 utility ball per group of 5 Set... Create a large (20X20 paces) grid per group of 5. Place home plate close to the baseline and a Pitcher s spot 15 paces toward opposite baseline in each grid. Create groups of 5; 1 ball per group. Positions are Right Field, Center Field, Left Field, Pitcher and Kicker. Kicker begins at home plate. Pitcher stands at the pitching spot with the ball. AEROBIC GAMES GRADES The object is for the Kicker to score as many points as possible before the fielding team throws to all and touches the Pitcher s spot with the ball. 2. Pitcher rolls ball to Kicker, who kicks ball into play, then runs around the Pitcher s spot and back to home as many times as possible. Each base rounded scores 1 point. 3. Fielders catch the ball and pass it to all Fielders with the last throw going to the Pitcher. Pitcher touches the pitching spot with the ball, signaling the Kicker to stop running. 4. Rotate in the shape of a question mark: Kicker to L field, Fielders move one position to the R, R field to Pitcher, Pitcher to Kicker. CHALLENGES Fielders, how quickly can you do your task and stop the Kicker? How many times can each person in your group kick? CUES Fielders, move to support your groupmates. Throw to the closest groupmate first. Relay to everyone. Spread out to cover more area. 19
